This was a glorious labour of love. Big thanks to Dannel for the immense amount of effort he invested into seeing this through and also to every person who took time and effort to be featured in this library of love. I deeply appreciate the wonderful gift.

JAMBOREE OPENING VIDEO
As an opening to the jamboree's programme, I was asked to put together a video introducing my favourite part of Hollywood - with Hollywood Night being the theme of the event. Many of you would already know what that is, while others will find out in just a bit. Enjoy!



EDDY DADDY & MOMMIE ANNE'S TOASTS
Truth be told, it was a tad bit awkward hearing my parents give a toast to me, and even more so when I was invited to stand on stage with them as they delivered their sharing. But I can't deny that they said some really moving things. Here's to two people who made me who I am today. Thanks Eddy Daddy and Mommie Anne!



JOANN NATALIE CHIA'S TOAST
Miss Heart-of-Gold shares her extraordinary love in this warm sharing. Thanks dearie for those gracious and elegant words, for the thoughtful advice and for taking us back down memory lane through those wonderful years of this friendship.



JOYCE NEO & ALYSSA TAN'S TOAST
Here's a lovely poem with a beautiful, nostalgic message, written by a pair of sexily sassy sisters who added much class and style to the glamorous Hollywood feel of the night with their elegant recitation of this literary piece.



JOEL NICHOLAS CHUA'S SHARING
Here's a recount of one of the most momentous memories that Joel and I share in our 12 years of friendship. I'm glad that this particular memory has left such a great impression on him, because it's just as special to me. Thanks for sharing it, Joel!



JOEL JEREMIAH ER'S TOAST
This sharing and toast alone accounts for the greatness, the novelty and the significance of this brotherhood. Thanks, Joel, for being the irreplaceable you and for those kind and heartrending words. Love you, brother!



THE SABOTAGE PLAN
After all these years of escaping Lynette Chen's famous birthday sabotage plans, I guess it finally had to happen this time, even if it was a supposedly glamorous event. But I'm glad this segment gave the crowd something to laugh so hard about. Thanks to Lynette and Joyce Ng for planning it, and to Lynette for executing it.



HILARY HOE AND JOANN CHIA'S PERFORMANCE
Being moved to tears by a musical number is always an enchanting, emotional experience. And that's exactly the ride that Joann and Hilary's performance of one of my favourite songs of all time took me on. It was a choice that came as a huge surprise to me as I've never really shared much about my love for this song before and particularly about how significant and meaningful it is to me at this milestone of turning 21. Thus, the buckets of tears that drew out of me from the moment Jo sang the first line. Thanks so much, Hil & Jo!



LYNETTE CHEN & AMANDA LEK'S PERFORMANCE & TOAST
When two friends sum up the courage to perform something on stage in spite of the lack of preparation and practice time, it makes for a truly heartwarming gesture. The determination Lynette and Amanda had in expressing their love through this Christina Aguilera number - even if it meant risking being embarrassed - made for one such gesture. What a fine and fabulous testament to "it's the thought that counts". I thought it was absolutely "Beautiful" (pun intended!). Thank you, ladies!



ADDISON WONG & ALYSSA TAN'S DANCE TRIBUTE TO CHRISTINA AGUILERA
It's been six years since I last performed a dance on stage. And boy have I missed "shaking it" for a crowd. This dance number was, thus, a really special one for me, on top of the fact that I wanted to pay tribute to Christina Aguilera's 10 years in the music business. And what a thrill it was to share this experience with dearest Alyssa Tan! Thanks Ally for being such a sport with this project!



THE SURPRISE OSCAR PRESENTATION
This was undoubtedly the sweetest and most thoughtful gesture of the night. My deepest gratitude to everyone who contributed to this fabulous gift. I do apologise for the bad attempt at the Oscar speech, for forgetting to thank a bunch of really important people, and for stammering so much at the beginning. This just really took me by surprise and I was unprepared to give a speech. But that doesn't belittle the magnitude in which this gift means to me. It's really sweet and thoughtful. I'll treasure this Oscar. I promise.
